( ・-・) I'm actually a girl
( ・-・) I too enjoy memes and think that the decline of memes and increase in "originality" is what makes websites shitty, not the other way around.
( ・-・) I hate many of the theories of social justice, progressivism and socialism and fight against them every chance I get, but at the same time I think they're ultimately right
( ・-・) I frequently fantasize about Haruhi Suzumiya giving me the chocolate.
( ・ω・) That sounds like some weird butt thing.
( ・-・) It is.
( ・-・) I would avoid all contact with you.
( ・-・) My previous plans to kill myself before aged 35 have been ruined by one of those marriage pacts that those crazy kids do.
>>55
( ・-・) I thought that I was the only one that did this...
( ・-・) Realizing that someone else does this makes it even sadder.
( ˃ ヮ˂) YOU GUYS JUST NEED TO LET A LITTLE LAUGHTER INTO YOUR LIFE!
( ・-・) For whether you stay, or stray, an inbuilt guilt catches up with you. And as it comes around to your place at 5 A.M.; wakes you up and it laughs in your face .
( ・-・) I love my wife, but sometimes I just want to take a pair of cuticle scissors and snip off her labia.
( ・-・) Ever since some asshole said "pissflaps" on this board...
(( ˃-˂)) ugggggh
( ﾟ ｰﾟ) I'm not afraid of dying, because I already hate my life.
( ・-・) If I were stuck in the 90s, I probably wouldn't miss anything.
( ・-・) I find myself agreeing with >>70 much more than I probably should
( ・-・) I enjoy not having a libido.
( ・-・) For someone who ejaculates five times a day, I sure don't get much sex.
( ・-・) I wonder sometimes if that guy who posted me doing all that dumb "Grandpa's dying" stuff early on will ever see the heights I've achieved here since then.
( ・-・) I wonder sometimes if that guy who posted me doing all that dumb "Grandpa's dying" stuff early on will ever realize that Grandpa's dead.
( ・-・) I am actually bored by this ascii art roleplaying. vc:dawn
I love you, dqn! ⊂（´･ω･`）つ
( ・-・) Don't touch me.
( ・-・) I hate 420chan these days, and there's a couple people on 99chan that are just so stupid and obnoxious that they have ruined the entire community for me. Almost the entire chan world, barring a few obscure sites, is polluted with obnoxiousness and ridiculousness. It is not humorous to me, and it is not useful. So, I guess I'll just have to go out and do something interesting with my life.
( ・-・) THose like >>34 are so stupid and asinine that I cannot help but feel unhappy that they found a human existence- which is so impossibly useful, beautiful, and dynamic- instead of the existence of a louse or fly, which is better fitting to such entities.
( ・ω・) Okay.
Did you happen to link to the wrong post, >>34?
Anyway, don't pretend that you're worthy to play arbiter with human life-―you're posting on DQN, after all.
( ・-・) This is basically a rehash of the Lame Confessional thread.
( ・-・) If there is a Hell, I bet it's full of feminists.
( ・-・) I actually do consider fetuses as living humans, or close enough to it, and I can't help but roll my eyes at people who insist that because a fetus can't live outside the womb it's not really human.
( ・-・) That being said, I'm still completely pro-choice.
( ・-・) I think abortions should be allowed up to the age of 17.
I think Beady Eyes ought to have been aborted.
( ・-・) It would certainly prevent me from derailing so many threads, but no such luck.
( ・-・) METAL AS FUCK
( ・-・) Hacker News and /prog/ are pretty much all the worst parts of hipsterism and programmer autism-self-diagnosers combined.
>>93
( ・-・) I agree with you there, and I was a regular on /prog/ back in 2007.
( ・-・) Political correctness is for whinging faggots.
( ・-・) I have hidden posts by actual friends on facebook because they basically turn their wall into either Twitter or the Internet equivalent of having 500 political bumper stickers on their car.
( ・-・) I have no Facebook page, nor Myspace, nor Twitter account, nor a blog of any kind.
This is not because I am some pre-Internet technophobe who fears what he does not understand.
Rather, it is because I am old enough to remember when the WWW was just another competitor to FTP. I remember when colleges and universities would lease one single phone line at 9600 baud for their entire faculty and all their students. I remember BITNET and the online world that existed back when it was a secret a few math and comp sci majors furtively shared. Back when if you put something online, that meant it was important, that people would be interested in it, that it was, perhaps, data pertaining to some cutting-edge research that a group of scientists on different continents were collaborating to perform.
And I still have enough respect for the medium, for the bandwidth that other people are paying for. Email is a one-to-one medium, a personal medium. Email can be as personal and as silly as you and the recipient want, though always recall that email isn't really private and bored sysadmins have been known to read other people's mail.
But the Web is one-to-many, not one-to-one, and that means that it has to be important. It has to be interesting. And nothing in my life is important enough or entertaining enough to justify getting a Livejournal or a Myspace page to blather about my job or my vegetable garden or my new shoes to the whole of civilization. If any of my friends or relatives cares enough they'll ask me in an email. I have that much respect for the medium.
Is it hypocritical to talk about this on an anonymous board? Possibly. But at least I don't have up a Geocities page in which I ramble at great length for page after page about the inaccuracies in translated dialogue from some 1970s anime that was only shown in the US as filler before the Sunday morning church services on some little independent UHF stations in the 1980s. And that must count for something, doesn't it, fellow dokyuns?
I don't have a Facebook because I keep getting kicked off by Jellyburg, but this is a good reason.
>>100
Geocities are pining for the fjords. They ceased to be. They are ex-Geocities.
Thanks for bringing that up, Beady-jerk.
>>100
Well, I'm not so upset about Geocities now.
So, I'd love to state my opinion on this matter.
As the internet traffic and storage capacity grow
the value of a single byte deprecates.
Uncontrolled emission of new hard disk drives,
memory cards and other mediums allow users
(including developers, designers, etc -
whose products are used by other people) to be wasteful.
Which they happily become.
People love to mock an infamous quote by William Gates
from early 90s. Even this genius didn't expect the crash
of the byte value. It's a shame that the company
of which he was a leader is particularly responsible
for this.
Similar thing applies for computational resources.
This is why I use BOINC. All those watts hertz
won't go unused. Hopefully, they will help scientists
to build a better world.
In conclusion, >>100, with today's mass availability
of the net access and vast space that various online
services (i.e. blog platforms) offer you for free,
it won't make a difference if you claim it. The deed
is already done. You won't ruin the WWW by posting
photos of your dirty socks, etc. You won't make it
better by not doing it. It's just a matter of choice.
Currently, you're like a vegan.
It looks like I made these lines too short. My post looks like a song but it's not a song!
>>106
Maybe the Universe is trying to tell you to make it a song?
>>105
Wow, Espeon...
That was pretty good.
Maybe you're not so bad. Even if you refuse to be one of us.
( ・-・) No one's saying !ESpeoN/nPA is a shitty poster; tripfagging is just distasteful by nature.
( ・-・) Attack the person, not what they have to say.
!ESpeoN/nPA makes me feel better about myself. If he'd always posted anonymously I'd just think DQN was filled with some kinda losers, rather than one big one.
>>109,110
You're just a single envious person whose PC isn't capable of
generating a satisfying tripcode in a few days. That, or you
simply lack imagination, so you can't come up with your own unique
and lovely tripcode. Who is a loser now, punk?
>>108
As a poor broken turret said in Portal 2, "I'm different."
It's just that I don't have much time to sit at Gikopoi all day
and wriggle my tripcode there. Sorry about that. If I forget
the tripcode, I'll disappear. Forever.
>>111
I'm proud of my tripcode I use in some places, I just wouldn't use it here.
>Who is a loser now, punk?
It's still you ( ⌒-⌒)
>>112
Aren't you just dreaming about your own fancy tripcode, huh? You should stop lying to DQN, yourself and me and simply admit it.
On some sites my tripcode says nutmeg which is good because I hold that spice very close to my heart. But still I wouldn't use a tripcode here! Heavens, no.
We need more smuggery around here. You too, ∠､( ⌒-⌒ ),､ゝ
I use a tripcode on pretty much every other site, but not here, never!
So... "colored people" is racist, but "people of color" is not. I don't get it.
>>100 speaks for me. I ran a Gopher server well into 2001 (I was not much kidding in the nerd thread) and remember when you needed a wee bit of smarts to get online and when a non-ASCII file was an unusual find and when usenet was usable and and and...
Some sort of modified Tragedy of the Commons + abysmal Signal/Noise Ratio == the internet. I can only imagine how people who were around in the late 70s and early 80s looked down on how horrible the internet had become in the late 80s and what utter contempt they must have for it now.
Thankfully, /dqn/ and similar (if more secret) areas are usually nice enough that I have not yet lost all hope.
I love you. Never change.
Just tell me, >>118-san, how many of your CLOSE FRIENDS are people of color?
( ・-・) I pay Filipina camwhores to model all their underwear for me.
>>120 All of my close friends are people, except for the three that consist of one dog and two cats.
( ・-・) I don't think "conversion disorder" is anywhere near as common as people say.
( ・-・) I think the world would be a better place if someone mind-controlled all the most batshit feminazis and made them rape the craziest MRAs. Hopefully they would then both die of revulsion.
( ・-・) Your favorite band? Just a band.
( ・-・) Homeless people often smell really bad.
( ・-・) People on the internet feel too self-entitled and it's only going to get worse.
>>128
I recently realised that.
( ・-・) I was an attention whore without even knowing it.
( ・-・) Anyone who thinks that the "Phoenix Down issue" should have been addressed in relation to a certain plot point from FF7 deserves a swift punch to the jaw.
( ・-・) As to spoiling that certain plot point, that deserves a knee to the jaw. Because the tears from the occasion are infinitely more delicious than the tears from the spoiling. Be patient; you cannot rush a fine art.
( ・-・) "An arrow to the knee" is obnoxious and unfunny, but so are most internet catchphrases.
( ・-・) People think they're a lot funnier than they actually are. Consequently, I pretend to laugh much more than I actually do.
>>133
You're probably hanging out with the wrong kind of people.
>>135
I'm around a lot of different people. I almost never see the same crowd twice.
>>138
I find DQN hilarious. I have no idea how people come up with some of this stuff. And the fact that they don't take credit or eagerly try to fish for responses is very admirable.
( ・-・) Come to think of it, this post is in line with this thread's topic...
( ・-・) I resent having to enter -Gould when searching for Bach recordings.
( ・-・) How do so many people actually like these, never with a sensible tempo, always on a piano, always with that humming? Ugh, ugh, and ugh.
( ・-・) I think Gould's interpretation of Goldberg Variations was excellent and I'm willing to cross swords with whoever claims otherwise.
( ・-・) I like Glenn Gould too.
( ・-・) I listen to Michael Savage on the raido because all my friends hate him. Having listened with an open mind, I kinda like the irascible bastard.
( ・-・) I agree with Pat Metheny.
( ・-・) When I worked in a factory I farted on the product more than once before putting it in the package. Someone ate my poo particles.
( ・-・) I'm still undecided on the notion of male privilege. I hear a lot of counterexamples, and many feminists are willing to dismiss a greater amount of these as mere anecdotal evidence and "the exception that proves the rule" than I am comfortable with.
( ・-・) Not to mention that the exception ought to *dis*prove the rule, and the only reason that saying got started is because of gradual changes in the meaning of "prove". It's tough being a linguist.
( ・-・) Haydn is an underrated composer and I don't even like his stuff that much.
( ・-・) I need money.
( ・-・) If you tell me "goodnight" when it isn't going to be a good night and you've been an unfriendly asshole the entire conversation one more goddamn time so help me I will punch you in the face
